THE AMERICAN 
REFORMED HORSE BOOK. 
[OCTAVO.] 
A Treatise on the Causes, Symptoms, and Cure of every 
Disease incident to the Horse, including all Diseases 
peculiar to America, and which are not treated 
of in works based upon the English works 
of Youatt, Mason, and others. Em¬ 
bracing also full details of Breed¬ 
ing, Bearing, and Manage¬ 
ment on the 
REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD, 
Veterinary Surgeon. “ Author of Anatomy and Physiology 
of the Horse." and late Professor of Anatomy and Physi¬ 
ology in the Veterinary Institute of Chicago, and for over 
25 years a Regular Practicing Veierinarian. 
This is a fresh book, the result of a lifetime of labor and 
research on the part of one of the foremost Veterinarians 
•f the age. Years ago. Dr. Dadd perceived that incalculable 
Joss was being entailed upon stock owners every year by the 
reckless, unnatural, unscientific, and cruel modes of treat¬ 
ment which were so generally practiced upon the Horse. 
Burning, Blistering, Bleeding by the gallon, and the 
giving of Poisonous Drugs were the order of the day 
(and we are sorry to say such practices still find learned (?) 
advocates even in our day), and the result was that they 
killed more than they cured. Actuated by a laudable desire 
to rescue so noble an animal from such “heroic practice,” 
Dr. Dadd adopted and strenuously advocated the Reform¬ 
ed System of Practice, which, under the guidance of 
6uch men as Wooster Beach, John C. Gunn, and others, rose 
rapidly into popular favor in human practice, and de¬ 
monstrated beyond a doubt that nature's remedies are the 
most uniformly successful. Such was Dadd’s success that, 
he became widely known, and it "was no unusual thing for 
him to be sent for, hundreds of miles, to attend valuable 
horses. His career as a practicing Veterinary Surgeon lias 
been one of rare success, and deeming it his duty to spread 
abroad among his countrymen a knowledge of Reform 
Principles, as applied to the Horse, lie has prepared this 
work, and asks that it he candidly examined. Being a thor¬ 
oughly American Work, it quotes foreign authors hut very 
little. It aims to treat, fully and plainly, on rational princh 
pies, every ill that Horseflesh is heir to, including those 
compInintH peculiar to this country, and which 
have hitherto been but very imperfectly treated of by 
authors aspiring to be educators of tin? public on Veterinary 
Science.

EXTRA CTS FROM NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
He (the author) describes tire action of draining upon 
tiie soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drains, the cost and the profit of thorough drainage, the 
making of tiles, and the reclaiming of salt marshes, 
treats sensibly of malarial diseases, and closes with a 
chapter which should be widely read, on house drainage 
and town sewerage in their relations to the public .health. 
[Portland (Me.) Press. 
Nowhere does this book merit a wider circulation than 
in the West. Every year adds to the thousands of dollars 
lost to this State from want of proper surface drainage, 
to say nothing of the added gain to result from a com 1 
plete system of under-drainage. This book will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. 
A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of the Central Park, in 
New York. 
CAREFULLY REVISED. 
CONTENTS. 
The Plant ; Tiie Soil ; Manures ; Mechanical Cul¬ 
tivation ; Analysis. 
The foregoing subjects arc all discussed in plain and 
pimple language, that any farmer’s boy may understand. 
Tiie book is written by a successful practical farmer, and 
is full of information, good advice, and sound doctrine. 
HORACE GREELEY says of it: “Though dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is no obscure sen¬ 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in the hook; its 254 fair, 
open pages may he read in the course of two evenings 
and thoroughly studied in the leisure hours of a week; 
and we pity the man or hoy, however old or young, who 
can find it dull reading. Hardly any one is so wise that 
he will not learn something of value from its perusal; no 
one is so ignorant or undeveloped that he cannot generally 
understand it; and no farmer or farmer’s son can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before.”

BY 
M. F. CUMMINGS, A.M., Architect,

What has been aimed at is this: To present a 
mass of architectural details, easy of construction, 
pleasing in form, and generally of an inexpensive 
character, and all so designed that a great variety 
of selections may lie made from them, which, when 
combined in a building, will produce a harmonious 
whole; and it is believed by the author that this 
■work will he found to he of value, and that its 
design is practicable, for there are hundreds of. 
towns and villages, in all the States of the Union, 
in which the wants of the people continually de¬ 
mand the erection of buildings, largely of wood, 
and which in the hands of the builder and work¬ 
man may be made elegant and pleasing in all their 
features, provided they have at hand a guide such 
as this book is intended to be.
